When Nasrat Haqparast made his UFC debut, he was dubbed “Mini Kelvin Gastelum.”
There’s a striking resemblance between the young Afghanistan-born Haqparast and middleweight contender Gastelum, who decided to finally grace us with a photo together.
“Brothers reunited.”
Haqparast takes on Drew Dober on Saturday at UFC 246 and will be looking to notch his fourth straight win. The hard-hitting lightweight doesn’t only resemble Gastelum looks-wise, he also packs a lot of power in his punches, making him one of the most exciting prospects in the division.
UFC 246 takes place Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and early prelims on UFC Fight Pass/ESPN+.
